XMRV se estimula por inflamación y Epstein Bar

Mensaje por EndSFC »

Parece que el XMRV empieza a demostrar cómo se comporta:

En este estudio, se demuestra que el XMRV en humanos es estimulado por la proteína inflamatoria NFkB, y por el Epstein Bar:

En otras palabras, el XMRV sería cuanto menos parte de un círculo vicioso, en el que una vez asentado un estado de inflamación crónica y de un sistema inmune deprimido, que permite la entrada y cronificación de infecciones, como el Eptein Bar, ésto hace que el XMRV prolifere, lo que como demostraba el estudio anterior que he colgado, crea más inflamación y afecta a la funcionalidad de las células que infecta (NKS, linf B, T, macrófagos...). No hace falta que recuerde que esto está en la base del SFC...

Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a gammaretrovirus linked to prostate carcinoma and chronic fatigue syndrome. Here we report that NF-{kappa}B activation can markedly increase XMRV production. The inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-{alpha}), which activates NF-{kappa}B, significantly augmented viral Gag protein production in XMRV-infected cells. Reporter assays showed that TNF-{alpha} and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), an intrinsic NF-{kappa}B activator, increased long terminal repeat (LTR)-dependent XMRV transcription. We identified two NF-{kappa}B binding sites (designated {kappa}B-1 and {kappa}B-2) in the LTR U3 region of XMRV and demonstrated that both sites bind to the NF-{kappa}B component p65/RelA. Mutation of the {kappa}B-1 site, but not the {kappa}B-2 site, impaired responsiveness to TNF-{alpha} and LMP1 in reporter assays. A mutant XMRV with a mutation at the {kappa}B-1 site replicated significantly less efficiently than the wild-type XMRV in the prostate carcinoma LNCaP, DU145, and PC-3 cell lines, HEK293 cells, the EBV-immortalized cell line IB4, and the Burkitt's lymphoma cell line BJAB. These results demonstrate that TNF-{alpha} and EBV LMP1 enhance XMRV replication in prostate carcinoma and B-lineage cells through the {kappa}B-1 site in the XMRV LTR, suggesting that inflammation, EBV infection, and other conditions leading to NF-{kappa}B activation may promote XMRV spread in humans.
